Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg has set out a £3bn green jobs plan to "serve the interests of the 100,000 square miles of the UK" rather than the City of London. The party plans to invest in wind energy, energy efficiency in public buildings and homes, and in bringing empty homes back into use through renovation. The Lib Dems plan to create a one-year green job stimulus plan, for which £3.1 billion of cuts in government expenditure would be used to bring 200,000 empty properties back into use, and invest in new green energy infrastructure and public transport. There would also be a "90-day guarantee" for young people, who would be offered a place of training, work or apprenticeship after 90 days of unemployment, so they were not "left in a state of despair".
